To Anonymous: don't worry about smaller turnout
THIS IS INEVITABLE. RAW NUMBER OF ANON PROTESTERS WILL DECREASE OVER TIME.
This has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the protests. The reasons for this are natural:
- As time goes by, the /b/-tards who got into this for the LULZ will drift away. Showing up at a protest a couple of times with a mask is fun, but if that's all they care about then they're going to become bored and find something else to do. The truly committed Anons will stay the course, and the ones less interested will leave.
- It's spring and summertime, folks. This ties into the previous reason, because the weather is getting nice and it will be harder for folks to commit themselves to attending a protest. In Boston, for instance, the weather was expected to be pouring rain all day...and it turned out to be sunny and beautiful for most of the protest. As the weather gets nicer, Anons will be concerned about other things.
- And the media coverage is waning. Again, this is NOT because of you, but rather because of the media's obsession with ratings. "What, another Scientology protest? That's old news -- they did that two times before." The lessened media coverage is also inevitable, and that in turn causes fewer people to show up at the protests.
This, again, does not mean the protests are becoming less effective. The CoS still considers you to be a "Hill 10" because they still don't know who most of you are. The reports showing up from behind the scenes show that you ARE having an effect. By mid-summer, the numbers at the protests might be one-quarter what they were in February. Don't be too worried or concerned about that, because there is one thing that is bound to keep people committed to this: the CoS' repeated foot bullets.
(I've been trying to get access to post to the enturbulation.org message boards for more than a month now, and still haven't gotten the proper access. Sorry to bother you with this, but I wanted to get the message to Anonymous on a board where a lot of them hang out -- i.e. here.)
